A patch is available in Tornado version 2.2.2_3 that fixes this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 2.2.2_3 or later to remediate the issue. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A high-severity Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Tornado's _parseparam function in httputil.py, affecting versions >=2.2.0 and <2.2.2_3. The function inefficiently parses multipart/form-data parameters, causing CPU usage to increase quadratically when processing crafted Content-Disposition headers. This can cause the Tornado server to become unresponsive due to its single event loop design.
